Maya
Angelou - 1928-2014
Many lived and died and they are forgotten but you (Maya Angelou) live
on mortal minds. With memorable smiles history dictates your life story that bide
humanity to be a better human being.
Maya Angelou's most
inspirational quotes:
- "Never make someone a priority when all you are to
them is an option."
- "We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and
make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups,
alone in races, even alone in genders."
- "If you don't like something, change it. If you
can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."
- "Nothing will work unless you do."
- "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be
unlived, however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again."
- "You may not control all the events that happen to
you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them."
- "One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one
is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other
virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or
honest."
- "I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman,
that's me."
- "I've learned that you can tell a lot about a
person by the way (s)he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost
luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."
- "Nothing can dim the light which shines from
within."
- "Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles,
leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of
hope."
- "Ask for what you want and be prepared to get
it."
- "A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it
sings because it has a song."
- "The honorary duty of a human being is to
love."
- "Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud."
- "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
RIP MAYA ANGELOU
